Power and weather behind internet outages in Nampa
Idaho Power customers averaged 206 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.37 interruptions each, against 233 minutes for Idaho as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See Nampa power outages when both go out together.
Canyon County logged 23 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind and flood. Power outages were named in 4 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
Fiber reports reach 65.7% of Nampa homes, cable 87.8% and copper lines 67.6%. Where fiber runs to the home, a red or blinking LOS light on the optical terminal points to a line problem that a restart will not fix.
